Nervous behaviour leads to charges say Kingston Police

Police have charged two men after their nervous behaviour caught officers’ attention.

On Thursday afternoon at around 2:30 p.m. officers with the Street Crime Unit saw a vehicle parked at Princess and Chatham streets, said a Kingston Police news release. At the sight of the uniformed officers, the men appeared to become nervous and drove away.

The officers followed the vehicle to Railway Street where the driver accelerated to approximately 90 km/h, say police. Pulling over the vehicle, the officers saw what they suspected to be marijuana and a purple water pipe (bong) inside.

The driver was arrested for possessing the marijuana. Police then searched a box that the driver had resting on his lap. Inside they found bags containing a suspected crystal methamphetamine and cocaine. Searching the vehicle more baggies of suspected crystal and pill-form methamphetamine in a bag belonging to the passenger were also found.

Police have charged a 25-year-old Kingston man three counts of possession of a controlled substance, and a 27-year-old Kingston man with two counts of possession of a controlled substance. Both men were taken to police headquarters where they were held to attend bail court on Friday.
